Well #"concentration"="moles of solute"/"volume of solution"#

Explanation:

Or #C=n/V#...and you will be using this quotient all your life.

And so if you want the moles you take the product...

#"moles of solute"="concentration"xx"volume"#...

..and if you want the #"volume"# you take the quotient...

#"volume"="moles of solute"/"concentration"#

Good luck.....and of course you have to interrogate the formula of the ion. A #1*mol*L^-1# of #Na_2CO_3# is #2*mol*L^-1# with respect to #Na^+#, and #1*mol*L^-1# with respect to #CO_3^(2-)#. Capisce?
